He enjoyed watching a good movie or WWF wrestling. He loved going home to Italy and seeing his sisters whom he loves very dearly. He was a member of Notre Dame Parish and would attend regularly with Flora. He was a very patient and quiet man, could fix anything (MacGiver), and kept his vehicle meticulously tidy and clean, even under the hood.
He had a penchant for Nutella, and “gambling” with Cashton. A very dear man, he will be missed, thought of often and dearly loved. May he rest in peace.
